... Although Trump glibly describes "Operation Wetback" as moving undocumented immigrants "waaay south," this program was at best inhumane and at worst horrific. Back then, the government rounded up suspected undocumented immigrants and sent them deep into the Mexican interior, where they were abandoned with next to nothing. The transports across the border were reportedly "indescribable scenes of human misery and tragedy." In one instance, 88 deportees died from heat stroke in the desert. Other deportees were sent to the Mexican Gulf Coast by ship, in vessels described by historians as an "eighteenth century slave ship" or "penal hell ship." ...

As if a conga-line of tens of millions entering at will illegally, during war time, is a sign of honor and national pride.
The GD country is upside down.
Keep up the horror stories....self deportation will clean our country out.
Yeah, we want millions more illegal aliens, we want more chaos, more lawlessness, more fraud.
We can do it!
[[Although Trump glibly describes “Operation Wetback” as moving undocumented immigrants “waaay south,” this program was at best inhumane and at worst horrific.]]
Yeah, it’s much more humane to allow those of them who are CRIMINALS across our boarders to murder and rape our citizens- We wouldn’t want to deprive the poor CRIMINAlS now would we?
Stuff it NBC!
Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants
http://www.usillegalaliens.com/impacts_of_illegal_immigration_crime_summary.html
In recent Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House Subcommittee on immigration, Border, Security and Claims he stated:
“Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are engaged in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent social security numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses represent some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens on a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status.
In addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today’s federal prison population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal aliens.â€Â
In Los Angeles, 95% of some 1,500 outstanding warrants for homicides are for illegal aliens. About 67% of the 17,000
There are currently over 400,000 unaccounted for illegal alien criminals with outstanding deportation orders. At least one fourth of these are hard core criminals.
80,000 to 100,000 illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes are walking the streets. Based on studies they will commit an average of 13 serious crimes per perpetrator.
Illegal aliens are involved in criminal activities at a rate that is 2-5 times their representative proportion of the population.
In 1980, our Federal and state facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens but at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in U.S. correctional facilities at a cost of about $6.8 billion per year.
At least 4.5 million pounds of cocaine with a street value of at least $72 billion is smuggled across the southern border every year. ..
56% of illegal aliens charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.
Illegal aliens charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, 50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies.
Illegal aliens commit between 700,000 to 1,289,000 or more crimes per year.
Illegal aliens commit at least 2,158 murders each year – a number that represents three times greater participation than their proportion of the population.
Illegal alien sexual predators commit an estimated 130,909 sexual crimes each year.
There may be as many as 240,000 illegal alien sex offenders circulating throughout America. Based on studies, they will commit an average of 8 sex crimes per perpetrator before being caught.
Nearly 63% of illegal alien sex offenders had been deported on another offense prior to committing the sex crime.
Only 2% of the illegal alien sex offenders in one study had no history of criminal behavior, beyond crossing the border illegally.
In Operation Predator, ICE arrested and deported 6,085 illegal alien pedophiles. Some studies suggest each pedophile molests average of 148 children. If so, that could be as many as 900,580 victims.
Nobody knows how big the Sex Slave problem is but it is enormous.
The very brutal MS-13 gang has over 15,000 members and associates in at least 115 different cliques in 33 states.
The overall financial impact of illegal alien crimes is estimated at between $14.4 and $81 billion or more per year. Factor in the crime as a result of the cocaine and other drugs being smuggled in and the number may reach $150 billion per year.
Where does Rubio come off berating Trump for citing FACTS?
[[Congressman Steve King (R-IA) estimates that illegal alien drunk drivers kill 13 Americans every day  that’s a death toll of 4,745 per year.[4]
The 23 percent criminal traffic offenders figure is only part of the overall picture. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, another 23 percent, more than 43,000 illegal aliens, were convicted of drug offenses. The violent crime category of assault, robbery, sexual assault, and family offenses comes to 12 percent. The non-violent crime grouping of larceny, fraud, and burglary totaled seven percent, and on the list goes  equaling 100 percent of illegal aliens who have been through the criminal justice system and inflicted thousands to millions in cost per alien on the system, for issues having nothing to do with their illegal entry into the country]]

Hmmmmm...now where did that come from?
Donald Trump Just Endorsed 'Operation Wetback' at the GOP Debate
The treatment of those rounded up in "Operation Wetback" was ghastly. Many of those apprehended were shipped back to Mexico on cargo boats. A congressional investigation of one vessel, the Mercurio, where a mutiny erupted after seven deportees drowned, likened it to an "18th century slave ship," or a "penal hell ship," according to a history published by Columbia University professor Mae M. Ngai.

Interesting that NBC couldn’t find an AMERICAN who had a problem with Operation Wetback. I’d expect someone facing deportation, or certainly having families facing deportation would have a problem with Trump’s plan.
...but then there are AMERICANS in this country, also.
Look up “operation wetback” in wikipedia:
“Ultimately, the program came as a result of pressure from the Mexican government to stop illegal entry of Mexican laborers in the United States”
“Diaz, like many others within the Mexican government, realized the laborers leaving for the United States would be needed to industrialize Mexico and expand the economy”
Does Mexico no longer want to industrialize and expand their economy? Is Trump correct when he says the Mexican government is pushing out their criminals?
““... In one instance, 88 deportees died from heat stroke in the desert...â€
The handling of Mexicans after they reentered Mexico might have been handled by Mexican officials. I couldn’t determine that from the Wikipedia article. Maybe someone else can find that out.
e transports across the border were reportedly "indescribable scenes of human misery and tragedy." In one instance, 88 deportees died from heat stroke in the desert. Other deportees were sent to the Mexican Gulf Coast by ship, in vessels described by historians as an "eighteenth century slave ship" or "penal hell ship
In other words he's a marxist POS scumbag lawyer.
Trump is going to deport the lawyers too.
You could have a point Ryes. In today's PC world the operation should have been called, "Operation Illegal Invasion." That way there might have been a chance to keep your illegal parents out of the country,
Maricon.

Stop wire transfers from illegal aliens and Mexico might just decide they want these laborers back.
There are so many effective ways to attack this problem anyone who says it can't be dealt with is a flat liar.
Just...WOW!
A “national disgrace”??? I’d say a blessing that needs repeated ...and often.
i’m supposed to be crying over 88 dead?
3000 die every day from abortion. 1.2m every year.
it’s tough for the left to try to make us feel bad about people dying while they promote and defend nationwide slaughter
Why did NOBODY mention E-Verify and the resulting SELF-DEPORTATION?!?!??!?
If you can’t get a job or benefits without passing E-Verify, and employers are fined for violations, then illegals will LEAVE!!
